CDC Report continued – binge drinking responsible for:
• Risk factor for motor vehicle accidents, violence, suicide, hypertension, heart attack, STDs, unintended pregnancy, FAS, SIDS
• 85% of all alcohol-impaired driving episodes involved binge drinking (2010)
• Accounted for 50% of all alcohol consumed by adults; 90% of youth
• Most binge drinkers are not dependentCDC Morbidity & Morality Weekly Report, Jan. 10, 2012 Vol. 61

What exactly is SBIRT?
• SBIRT—Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment
• Universal screening of patients within medical settings with use of validated screening tools
• If screened positive – brief intervention (guided discussion) with medical provider occurs
• If screening reveals dependence – referral to specialty substance abuse treatment provider
![Page 6: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SBIRT: Primary Care Context
• Takes advantage of the “teachable moment”
• Patients aren’t seeking treatment but screening opens door for awareness & education
• Focus on addressing low/moderate risk usage as a preventative approach before addiction occurs

SBIRT Implementation
• Implementation strategies • Considerations
![Page 14: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Universal Prescreen
Provide positive reinforcement
(+) Positive
Further screening with• ASSIST• AUDIT
• CRAFFT• DAST
Low risk: Provide positive reinforcement
Moderate risk: Provide Brief Intervention
Moderate high-risk: Provide Brief Therapy
High risk: Refer to treatment
• (-) Negative
![Page 15: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Effective Screening Program Typically Yields…
• Approximately 25% of all patients will screen positive for some level of substance misuse or abuse
• Of those, the approximately 70% will be “at-risk” drinkers
• Most will be open to addressing their substance abuse problems (if discussed in a non-judgmental manner)
![Page 16: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Brief Intervention Approach
• Uses “Motivational Interviewing” techniques • Discuss healthy drinking levels for male/females (NIAAA
standards) • Weigh pros/cons of cutting down or quitting• Use “scaling” to assess for readiness (i.e – on a 1 to 10
scale….)• Effects on quality of life and/or existing medical conditions• Plan to talk about it more than once (at future doctor visits) • Small, obtainable goals (let patient tell you want he/she can
handle)

Identify Referral Resources
Community agencies for referrals
Short-term and long-term residential treatment centers
Hospital inpatient and outpatient centers
State treatment centers
![Page 18: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Key Considerations for Starting SBI Program
• Identify target population and location(s)
• Develop a Screening protocol
• Develop a Brief Intervention protocol
• Identify staff to monitor and evaluate program (strong QI mgt essential)
• Reimbursement strategy & considerations
• Staff training needs and supervision
• Program “champions” and buy-in from CEO/Admin staff
![Page 19: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Additional Considerations
Who Will Do the Screening and Brief Intervention?
• “SBIRT” counselors/health educator model• Social Workers• Registered Nurses• Psychologists• Physicians • Dedicated contracted personnel• Medical Assistants • Para-professionals
![Page 20: Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816858550346895dde7faa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Challenges & Lessons Learned
• Buy-in issues from existing medical staff
• Funding for additional staffing (or train existing staff)
• Need for management to be supportive and influence implementation
• Consistent training available for new staff

Useful Resources
• Numerous SBIRT grantee websites with training videos, screening protocols, insurance/billing information, toolkits, etc…
• Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC) – SAMHSA funded trainings in SBIRT, MI, etc…
• Other non-fed funded organizations offering training, resources, etc…
